Subject[patch 05/22] sysfs: dont call notify_change
From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>

sysfs_chmod_file() calls notify_change() to change the permission bits
on a sysfs file. Replace with explicit call to sysfs_setattr() and
fsnotify_change().

This is equivalent, except that security_inode_setattr() is not
called. This function is called by drivers, so the security checks do
not make any sense.
